"Hey guys, I hope you’ve enjoyed the information that we’ve been able to release to you guys so far. If you haven’t read our previous two blogs, you can check them out here and here. Slowly but surely we’ll continue our weekly blogs, eventually getting into the heart of what all of you want to hear about: gameplay. First though, it’s NBA Draft time! I know we beat you over the heads with Dynamic DNA / Synergy stuff in NBA LIVE 09, but honestly, there are still people who aren’t getting it. Dynamic DNA completely takes the subjectivity of ratings out of the picture. What you see in real life, is what you get in-game. From now on, if a player’s rating is causing you stress, don’t “hate the game, hate the playa"! Anyway, to put a little more context around what Synergy Sports is all about, we thought it would be beneficial for all of you to read up on what their CEO, Garrick Barr had to say about his past experiences working for the Phoenix Suns dealing with the NBA Draft, and currently what Synergy does for NBA Teams for the Draft. It’s a really “hardcore” (wait, not using that word anymore) / “informed” blog, so I think you guys will dig it."

Not every blog is catered to you guys at OS specifically. There are ALOT of people out there who don't get what we do versus the competition. A little more legitimacy behind what we're doing would be beneficial.

I actually found that article very interesting. Sure, it didn't talk about NBA Live; but at least we now know the resources that are utilized for GMs and scouts throughout the process. The power of the internet is a beautiful thing, I'd love to have a job like that or something involved with the NBA/video games.

Man Steph i know where you coming from. That's why i don't hype myself up as much. But about the Competition thing, i understand where you coming from. It's just things can't be put out there yet because 2K is competing, never knowing what they can steal right? Besides it's still 3 full months til release im assuming so I know we will see alot from now to then. ITS SUMMER TIME!!! RELAX GUYS.... LOL.

Would be wise. Just think about how cool it will be when you are surprised with something YOU actually want to read about?

LMAO, you can't win here at OS! Just ask Ian.

Anyways, I've said it before... I haven't played Live since 95 and tried the demo last year.... i got close to picking it up. I think this might be the year... keep up the good work, this could be the year that the pendulum swings.

They're fine. I actually prefer an always connected experience.
I'd really prefer an offline way to play, but its not a bother.
I don't really like them, and am more reluctant to buy a game because of it.
I won't buy them. I want my games offline.
